Twenty two boys were in the field playing football at their break time, all shirtless and among them is Stanley. The afternoon sun did no justice to their skin as the heat trickling down their body made it shine.

Lydia(x) sat in the cafeteria looking out of the window; no doubt her center of attraction among the guys was Stanley.

A well-built body and muscles ripping out as he runs around chasing the ball, cheers from the people around made him smile and wave proudly at them but lost control of the ball, immediately he tripped on it and boom; he fell face flat.

“Good for him” Lydia(x) snickered . After the incident between him and Lydia(n), he has been trying to be friends with them but one thing held them from accepting him immediately, he is still arrogant.

She sighed disappointed as most of his fans which are mostly girls rushed and helped him up. Some offered him handkerchief, he collected it, cleaned his body and pushed it back to them without a thank you.

He walked off proudly; it’s obvious he likes the way girls drool over him

. As he, the head of the football has left, the rest of the footballers started dispersing

“Such arrogance” 

“Who is that” Lydia(n) asks as she peer out of the window

Lydia(n) jerked at hearing her voice “Sweet Jesus, you scared me”

Lydia(n) smiled and sat down beside her “it’s because you are lost in thought because of that guy”

“Noo, I hate him” Lydia(x) says defensively

Lydia(n) winked at her “calm down sis, I know you like him”

Lydia(x) bowed her head and starts picking her fingers.

Lydia(n) hung her hand around her shoulder and drew her close “its no big deal; he is cute”

Lydia(x) eyes shined brightly “really”

“Yea, really” she thought for a while “okay let’s try this old trick”

“What’s that?”

“Get me a pen and paper”

Lydia(x) quickly provided them from the small bag she usually carries around.

Lydia (n) collected it from her and starts writing something while Lydia(x) peered eagerly

“FLAMES”

“What does that mean?”

“That’s an old or tricky way of knowing your relationship with someone”

“Ewwww, old way; madam please how old are you”

Lydia(n) laughed at her jab, points at what she wrote and starts explaining, “F is for Friends, L for Lovers, A for Admirer, M for Marriage, E for Enemies”

“Ewww, I hate E” Lydia(x) says so much determined on knowing the outcome

“Allow me to finish” Lydia(n) says and continued her explanation, “S for Secret admirer”

Lydia(x)’s eyes fell “that’s what I am”

“Not yet, concentrate”

She wrote down Lydia(x)’s name over Stanley’s name

“Now what again”

“We cancel out the similar alphabets in your names, count the remaining ones and relate them to the number of the FLAMES; the one it fell on is what you guys are”

“Really; then I pray for us to be lovers”

Lydia(n) laughed “I pray so, so that my little friend can finally rest”

Lydia(x) nudged her playfully, “who made you my senior and me little”

“Six months difference is enough for someone to be your senior” she winked “now let’s continue”

She cancelled out the two L, Y, and A; counted the remaining alphabets which are six in number.

She counted the FLAMES and it ended on S, she carefully wrote, equals to Secret admirers

Lydia(x) squeals happily but settles down immediately as she saw Stanley enter the cafeteria with his troupe

Lydia(n) looked up and saw Stanley too “wow, our hero is here” she whispered

“and oh he is walking over here” she adds and stands up, she brought out a pinky invitation card and gave her two “my pre-graduation party is this weekend” she glanced at Stanley “the other card is for him; you can invite him too”

Lydia(x)’s eyes sparkled “I can invite him too” she says admiring the card “but why pink, I thought you hate pink; you said it’s for weak girls”

Lydia(n) laughed, “as for your crush, yes you can invite him but if he misbehaves I will punch him” she demonstrates the punch and Lydia(x) laughed “

“My mom insisted on making the card pink, you know I love black but my mom abhors it”

Lydia(x) nods “she is right; which girl likes black anyway”

“Good afternoon ladies” Stanley greets displaying his white set of teeth; one of the things he is always proud of

Lydia(n) replied quite cold and left

Stanley stared at her “she was the one that slapped me right”

Lydia(x) nods apprehensively and freezes as he sat beside her

“Then I better roll with you, you are easier to talk with than her, more like cheap” Stanley says proudly and crossed his legs

Lydia(x) blushed as she heard his voice “its so sexy and deep” she eyed him through the corner of her eyes; now that she has seen him close, he looks so handsome. Heavily built dark skin, eyes and creamy brown hair; a diamond tattoo below his lash line that will make you stare at him forever

She shifted a little “all these for just one small guy” oblivious of herself she fell back to admiring him again; the wind blew and his small hair bounces revealing the amount of money he wastes just to achieve that look, money is indeed everything “oh how she wished she can run her hands through it just for a moment”

She paused from her dream as she heard his last word “cheap, did she throw herself to him that he considers her cheap; no guy has the right of considering her cheap. She has always add a little ink in dyeing her hair because of the way her role model does who never believes any man could afford her and this little riff raff here called her cheap”

She stood up visibly angry, unable to say a word; hating herself for having a crush on a guy like that. The FLAMES said they are secret admirers and so be it. She walked away without a backward glance

Stanley sat upright as he saw her walk away, “did he say or do anything wrong” he wonders and ran his hand over his short hair frustrated “girls always flock around him, why is this particular girl playing hard to get; he has tried forgetting her but couldn’t”

Frustrated but determined to get her he stood up but saw the pinky card lying on the chair; he picked it up and read it. His eyes gleamed with happiness “he must never miss the party” he stared at the invitation “which of the girl’s cus there was no surname to specify but either ways he must go”

He adjusted his jacket and followed Lydia(x) who had walked far but he can still see her back

****************
Lol that FLAMES has been something we used then in our primary and secondary school days
 

Who remembered using it on their crush then #winks
